Salus Marine Ungava PFD Review

The Ungava PFD from Salus Marine is our best selling personal flotation device for recreational and touring use alike. Great for kayakers, canoeists, and paddleboarders with its ample features, comfort, and customized fit.

With tapered shoulders, rounded edges, and soft-foam construction, the Ungava PFD offers a contoured fit most often found in high-end jackets with streamlined features. The front zipper design makes it easy to put on and off, while the unisex styling makes it comfortable to wear for both women and men. Five-point, pull-forward adjustments allow you to hone in on a customized fit with the full wrap-around belt secures the vest preventing it from riding up when in a seated position.

The Ungava PDF features Salus Marine’s ‘Dry-Lex’ technology on both the back panel and front panels for optimal breathability and moisture absorption. The zippered mesh pocket provides easy water drainage after an upset, while the enclosed security pocket offers even more storage for small items. The 3M Scotchlite reflective trim is positioned on the upper portion of the PFD to enhance viability, and the stitched loop on the back shoulder accommodates lights, hydration packs, and other accessories. Also, the chest lashing point is great for mounting a knife, whistle, or handheld compass.

Unlike the less advanced Eddy-Flex, the Ungava PFD offers hand-warmer pockets as well as belt-loops for attaching a quick-release tow line. These features are a must have for expeditions, paddling in groups, or when guiding a touring.
